Chapter 8: Physical Enchantment
[Almond]
-Adventurer rank: Bronze.
-Level: 2 [94%]
-Class: Spirit Dealer (SS)
-[Vitality: 100%]
-[Mana: 256/325(+10)]
-Stats: 3 unassigned points.
|-Physical:
↳[Strength: 10.5 | Health: 9 | Stamina: 10]
|-Mental:
↳[Mana: 13 (+19.5) | Focus: 13 | Perception: 15]
’Focus can improve my overall magic control and efficiency, while Perception will allow me to get insight to improve my skills and enhance my senses. Both need to be improved to get better and learn new skills.’
’But I have a flexible way to get stat points, so...’
Almond added two points in Strength and one in Health.
"Alright, I am going," Almond said as he started walking towards the open ground from the woods.
But one of the wolves had woken up and was walking around, so the moment it saw him, the wolf howled, and the other four wolves woke up.
’A pack of five dire wolves?’ Almond’s eyes glinted. ’All of them are at level 4. Guess I’ll reach level 4 if I kill them all alone.
Suddenly, Almond heard a voice as if someone whispered in his ear.
"Do you need help?"
’It’s Lily’s voice. For her to learn Magic Whisper, both her Focus and Perception must be over 15.’
Magic Whisper was a simple application of Mana, using it to carry one’s voice directly toward a target’s ear, but the range depended on one’s control.
[You have killed a level 4 Dire Wolf.]
[You have reached level 3. You have gained 3 Unassigned stat points.]
Instantly after that, he released Holy Blast on the Wolf that his two Spectral Dire Wolves had attacked and finished it off.
After using 20 Mana to heal both of his Spectral Dire Wolves, they began fighting against the remaining three wolves while Almond also joined the fray.
"His Physical Enchantment is perfect," Lily’s eyes glinted, showing a hint of shock. ’It’s even better than mine. He is able to infuse the mana evenly and accurately in all chakra points. How?’
’It requires 50 perceptions to even detect the Chakra points. I had my father’s help, and I still couldn’t accurately do it like him.’
’How did he do that? Is this even possible? Or does he have some kind of skill or he awakened a talent to help him with that?’
"Woah, he really killed the wolves just like that," Natalia’s mouth was wide open in surprise. "Those two wolf spirits look just like Dire Wolves. Is he some kind of summoner?"
"And It’s weird. He never attended physical combat classes, but he is fighting like a warrior.." Natalia muttered as she wasn’t expecting Almond to join the fight physically and kill the wolves brutally like that.
"He never did? Maybe he trained at another place?" Lily said, her eyebrows raising in surprise. "Because his movements are not at all of a beginner who never trained."
"Could be, but he is a poor boy and works part-time to get by. I doubt he can pay for any good training center."
On the other hand, Almond devoured a level 4 Dire Wolf Spirit and got +1 Stamina.
He stored the remaining four spirits in the Spirit Kodoku pocket.
’Now I only need nine spirits to create that Spirit Wraith,’ Almond thought as he turned around and walked towards the girls.
He could see them looking at him and feel their eyes on him a bit different than before.
’I’m not sure I can defeat Lily. She is an assassin-type, and her perception and focus seem higher than mine. Ambushing her is a tall order. Not to mention, I’ve seen her fight, and I am not at all confident if I were to brawl against her, with a weapon or without a weapon.’
’She’ll wipe the floor with me.’
’But as long as these two live, there’s a high chance I could get caught and killed. What should I do? I don’t want to kill unnecessarily, but I want to survive...’ Almond was feeling anxious about the upcoming future, but he calmed down as it was no use getting anxious over it. He just had to think more and reach a conclusion. He still had time.
"We can wait for a few minutes so you can recover your Mana," Lily said. "You can meditate and recover fast. You know the method, right?"
Almond nodded and closed his eyes, but he didn’t meditate, which requires one to enter a deep focused state. If he did, he wouldn’t know what was going on around him.
’My Mana recovery is already fast thanks to my innate talent,’ Almond looked at the status and saw his Mana recovering.
